Devil Breaker

The is one of the weapons used by Nero in Devil May Cry 5. It was built by Nico and replaces the Devil Bringer that was ripped off of Nero by a mysterious hooded man.

There are eight types of Devil Breaker the player can unlock in the the base game, with additional four types being offered as DLC.

Description
The Devil Breaker is a specialized artificial appendage that has eight different types of which Nero is able to use. Each Devil Breaker connects to the base of his arm, making them easily replaceable. The base of the Devil Breaker contains the wire which is used for the Wire Snatch ability, which behaves exactly as the Devil Bringer's Snatch ability: it pulls small enemies onto Nero but pushes Nero toward larger enemies. This move is available by default even if Nero has no Devil Breaker equipped.

All types contain one "Break Away" move that instantly breaks the arm, however this Break Away move can allow Nero to evade certain enemy attacks. Another way the arm breaks is by getting hit while performing any Devil Breaker attack or while charging the Devil Breaker.

On lower difficulties, Devil Breakers can be found through the missions, said to be scattered by Nico for Nero. Nero can also replenish or change his magazine before any mission, or when interacting with the van or a Divinity Statue during a mission.

 * Devil May Cry 5 promo site, Character - Nero
 * Devil Breaker
 * New power for a broken hunter
 * A weaponized prosthetic arm made by Nico to replace Nero's missing limb. High output performance makes them break easily, so Nero usually carries multiple Devil Breakers into battle, swapping out broken arms for new ones.
 * The base of the Devil Breaker contains the Wire Snatch ability, which pulls smaller foes to him or sends him rocketing towards larger targets, living or otherwise.

Trivia

 * Written on the edge of the arm are the words "Devil Breaker System".
 * When switching between Devil Breakers, Nero calls out their names, similar to how Dante does while switching styles.
 * Nero's choice of Devil Breaker determines which of the two different reloading animations for Blue Rose's Color Up ability he will use. If his Devil Breaker has a hand, he will reload with the Devil Breaker hand. If it does not (as with for example Rawhide) he will instead tuck Blue Rose into his right armpit and reload it with his left hand.
